Yes, READ or delete. But don't argue That LOCKED AE is AE when it isn't. that's not semantics, that's major functional differences. If it didn't matter, Pentax Wouldn't have put the aperture cams on the lenses in the first place back in '75. ( '71 if you count the SMCT Pentax screw lenses). jco

This is simply a 1 shot Stop down manual exposure mode where the camera Finds the correct shutter speed for you ONE TIME And doesn't correct if the lighting or aperture Changes like traditional AE always has. Its not Really AE its metered manual or "AE with AE LOCK Always ON" which is quite another story. Is there a point, other than a semantics debate, to all this?
